... an explanation of the electric universe within the gravity / mass framework will be disappointed not to have such a link explained... there simply isn't any common ground. This really is the continuation and realisation of Velikovksy's paradigm shift. Present day Neo-catastrophists struggle to fit their hesitancy within conventional theory...and are failing. It is strange that most innovative' thought comes from unshackled, unblinkered, thinkers who are not influenced by the everlasting battle between the Theorists and Observers. Finally, Velikovsky may not have been the first catastrophist but he certainly has been the most influential in this century. I wonder what we would all be doing this week end but for his insight ...
802. Jupiter - God of Abraham (Part III) [Journals] [Kronos]
... the area, ten more years were to pass before any actual excavation and stratigraphical exploration was to be conducted. The fortified area that Mallon and Albright had first discovered was, meanwhile, believed to have been an open-air sanctuary. In 1966, a year following the discovery of the Bab edh-Dhra' cemetery, Sarna could still write that "Strangely enough, there is no sign of any permanent settlement in the entire region. "The stone pillars, the open-air hearths, and the implements and pottery [discovered at the site] all point to one conclusion. The place must have been a great open air sanctuary, a place of pilgrimage for people who lived in the valley ...
803. The Archangels [Journals] [Kronos]
... , very much like the Greek Ares and/or Roman Mars, an angel of war.(14) Velikovsky also directed attention to the fact that, while the Romans claimed Mars as the founder of Rome,(15) Jewish tradition casts Gabriel in the same role.(16) In view of all this, it is strange that Velikovsky opted for Jupiter, for which he presented no direct evidence, in favor of Mars as the agent of the Sodomitic destruction. Having accepted Gabriel as Mars in the annihilation of Sennacherib's army,(17) his omission of Gabriel's role in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah smacks of inconsistency and selectivity. At this point, ...
804. Typhon and the Comet of the Exodus: Rockenbach's Lost Source [Journals] [Aeon]
... of them used indiscriminately by classical and modern writers alike. [31] Hesiod, who referred to him as a "mighty god," described Typhon, or Typhoeus, as a monster who "might have come to rule over the gods and mortal man." [32] "On his shoulders grew a hundred snaky heads, strange dragon heads with black tongues darting out. His eyes flashed fire beneath the brows upon those heads, and fire blazed out from every head when he looked round." [33] Others described him somewhat differently, but always in horrifying monstrous form: "From the thighs downward he was nothing but coiled serpents, and his arms ...
805. Aster and Disaster: Toward a Catastrophist Mode of Mythological Interpretation [Journals] [Kronos]
... never fully recapture yet never wholly forget. "Mythology," wrote Carl Kerenyi, "like the severed head of Orpheus, goes on singing, even in death and from afar. ''(21) Since it relates joys which exceed our joys as much as its pains exceed our pains, it strikes us as at once disturbingly strange and hauntingly familiar. If it seems illogical or unreasonable to us, that may be because it records, as nothing else so eloquently does, the traumatic mass-initiation of mankind. The qualitative contrasts within mythic corpora are, as the preceding characterizations suggest, often so extreme as to be paradoxical. "On the one hand, it would ...

... with basic features of the activity cycle rather than making predictions at the detailed level of modern observations." The "standard" theory has not been able to predict anything that the new generation of solar observatories has discovered and has had to be "adjusted" repeatedly in an effort to cater for those observations. It cannot explain the many strange phenomena in the Sun's atmosphere nor the acceleration of the solar wind. It cannot explain the sunspot cycle or the totally unexpected correlations between neutrinos, the solar wind and sunspots. Helioseismology, or the study of solar oscillations, has been used to help constrain solar dynamo models. The observations have been applied to the standard solar model in ...
... country where the chief agricultural operations were carried on about the time of the Autumnal Equinox in the northern hemisphere. [4 ] This country might lie south of the equator, and indeed we find one which answers the requirements in the region of the great lakes and on the coast opposite Zanzibar. Such an hypothesis may at first sight appear strange, but the view that Eridu was colonised from Cush has been supported by no less an authority than Lepsius. [5 ] The boundaries of Cush are not defined, but they may possibly include the Land of Pun-t, from which certainly part of the Egyptian culture was derived. Among all early peoples the most important times of the ...
808. Were The Hitites Lydians? [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Hittite rather than .. . Luwian."4 In other words the Lydians, of western Asia Minor, used the same language as that of the Hittites in their Cappadocian heartland - Neshili - rather than Luwian, a related tongue employed by many other peoples of Asia Minor, such as the Phrygians and Lycians. In explanation of this strange anomaly, the writer quoted above continues: "One has to assume that in the disturbances following the collapse of the Hittite Empire a central Anatolian group had seized power among the ruins of Arzawa, and a memory of this may be preserved in the Herodotean story of a Heraclid dynasty with eastern connections which gained power in Lydia about 1200 ...
809. Propaganda And Scientific History [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... The Prior: Don't say that! "Columbus: It's the truth; it's not a mill pond strewn with islands, it's a sphere. "The Prior: Don't, don't say that; it's blasphemy."21 A 1982 eighth-grade history text states: "The European sailor of a thousand years ago also had many... strange beliefs. He turned to these beliefs because he had no other way to explain the dangers of the unknown sea. He believed .. . that a ship could sail out to sea just so far before it fell off the edge of the sea."22 18 Jeffrey Burton Russell, Inventing the Flat Earth Columbus And Modern Historians ...

... thunderclap." The use of the word "thunderclap" is remarkably prescient of the authors for it has been established by Talbott, that the over- riding concern of our ancestors was with the actions of the capricious and warring planetary gods. And the weapon of choice was the thunderbolt. It was no earthly spark. It took the strange involuted, corkscrew form of plasmoids and was associated with stones (meteorites) falling from the sky and global devastation. It is therefore of little wonder that mythic traditions were established in an effort to remind future generations of those terrible experiences. Recent evidence from genetic studies suggests that the human race sprang from a handful of survivors. The ...
